    Hmm... Good point (about the axle shift).

    This doesn't appear to be something that has been addressed with the 912 lift before.
    An adjustable track bar would fix this problem easily.

    Now, is the noise atributable to the laterally shifted axle?

    I notice more of an axle shift (wheel/tire on passenger side sticks out more) when I only had the 1" polyspacer, know with the 912's, it seems better center. I think so becuase at the original ride height, I think the bar is angled up, the 1 inch lift made it level, thus shifting it more, now with 912 its angled down the same amount it was angled up originally.......I think.......... I need to look into this more. The thing is, the drive shaft angle (up - down) doesnt seem that severe at all with the lift.
